President Lyndon
Johnson and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover were behind the murder of the
Rev. Martin Luther King, a new book on the controversial assassination
charges.

"Hoover
hated Rev. King because he thought he was a hypocrite, unfaithful to
his wife, and a potentially subversive Communist, and he had opposed the
Vietnam War," writes James D. Norvell, J.D., in the book "Treason,
Treachery & Deceit," and "LBJ thought he would start a revolt
against America's economic system."

Rev.King
was shot dead April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn., on the second floor
balcony of the Lorraine motel. Escaped convict James Earl Ray was
convicted of the assassination in March of 1969. Ray pled guilty in
order to avoid a trial and possible death penalty but Norvell says Ray
never shot Dr. King.

The
facts are clear, Norvell writes, that former FBI officials removed Dr.
King's defenses just before he was killed, transferred potential
witnesses the day before the murder and tampered with, "lost," and
destroyed the evidence.

Norvell---who
spent 13 years investigating the assassinations of Rev. King and the
Kennedy brothers---reported that Hoover and Texas oil magnate H.L. Hunt
had argued over how to put an end to King's crusades. Hunt initially
thought his radio broadcasts would silence Rev. King but Hoover thought
they needed a "permanent" solution, Norvell writes. After the
assassination of Rev. King, Hunt conceded to John Curington, his
security assistant, that Hoover had won the argument.

Author Norvell,
late of Ft. Worth, Tex., was a 1964 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy
with a degree in naval engineering. While in the Navy, he obtained an
MSE from the University of Michigan and a juris doctor with honors from
George Washington University. He rose to the position of Lt.-Cmdr. in
the U.S. Navy and after resigning his commission practiced law for 30
years, some of them as attorney for LBJ aide and confidant Billy Sol
Estes.

"James Earl Ray
was another innocent patsy (similar to Lee Harvey Oswald) sold down the
river by his attorneys, much like Sirhan-Sirhan (alleged killer of
Senator Robert F. Kennedy) was," Norvell writes. "Each attorney was
interested more in his own pocketbook than in defending Ray (or the
other alleged assassins)." Ray's prison escape from Jefferson City, Mo.,
was "engineered," Norvell asserts, so that he could be the fall guy for
the murder and because Ray was probably looking at life imprisonment
anyway, if captured, and wouldn't mind if his guilty plea for Rev.
King's "murder" got him 99 years.

In addition to
conspirators LBJ, Hoover and Hunt, Norvell identifies two shooters of
Rev. King in his book: Lloyd Jowers and a mysterious U.S. intelligence
agency operative known as Raoul, said to have confessed his part in the
murder. Jowers was manager of Jim's Bar & Grill opposite the
Lorraine motel.

According to
author Norvell, Raoul was Ray's handler and gave him assignments, such
as the purchase of a deer rifle, and moved him to several cities around
the country before ordering him to Memphis. Ray was a poor shot and not
used in the assassination except to be set up as a "patsy."

Rev.
King's chauffeur, Solomon Jones, waiting in the parking lot of the
Lorraine, saw two white men listening to Rev. King's conversation with
his aides up on the balcony. When the fatal shot was fired, Jones cried
out, "There they are, right there!"

Norvell
says neither of the men was Ray. He also notes that the black officers
of the fire and police departments were pulled off the job before the
slaying.

The
book, "Treason, Treachery, and Deceit: The Murderers of JFK, MLK &
RFK" by James D. Norvell, may be ordered through Amazon.com, Barnes and
Noble, e-books, and nook books, among others.

The
book has been widely acclaimed and endorsed, including by military
writers. Brig. Gen. John H. Grubbs, Ret., PhD, who refers to it as "a
spellbinding masterpiece." Douglas Horne, former Chief Analyst for
Military Records of the Assassination Records Review Board, writes, "Mr.
Norvell does not pull any punches and does not sugarcoat the
assassination in any way."

The 585-page book contains several hundred pages of graphic evidence.

On
the book's cover is the following statement: "This historical novel
solves all three murders and refutes government propaganda." The book is
585 pages in length.
